Physiotherapy
- Bachelor of Applied Science (Physiotherapy)

- Certificate in Trigger Point Therapy
- Sports Level One
Since graduating from the University of South Australia in 1996 with a degree in physiotherapy, Cathy initially worked in private practice and, at the same time, as an orthopaedic inpatient physiotherapist at Flinders Private Hospital. This combination gave Cathy substantial experience in post-surgical rehabilitation, including rehabilitation after severe acute trauma.
Her clinical approach is based on early training in muscle release and trigger point therapy, later training in dry needling and acupuncture, and a broad understanding of rehabilitative exercise.
As a mother of two, Cathy has first-hand experience of the physical demands of pregnancy and parenthood. She has worked with a wide range of clients, from elite athletes to older adults and people living with chronic pain.
